Hey yall,

New to the discussion area and this app, but just trying to get some ideas of what kinds of shrubs/plants/etc. to plant in our front flower bed. We ripped up some old shrubs because they were not what we were looking for.

Our front landscaping area gets direct sunlight from 12-7 each day, with the right side getting full sun. We have two slender flower beds outside of our dining room and front porch, we are stuck on what best would grow there in such a weird and small spot.

Just looking for some ideas of what would be best to plant in the bare areas in these pictures! We are located in central Mississippi

marigolds would be perfect for the front

In the small areas in front of the windows?

Try lavender, it's beautiful, fragrant, edible, and drought resistant. Or you can plant basil, they can get huge and smell AMAZING
